Friday 3rd – Sunday 5th June sees an astonishing line-up of adult and kids events, from author talks to discussions about music and politics through to comedy, poetry and film.

We’re also launching our kids’ programme that sees the whole of Friday 3rd June devoted to workshops, author readings and fun activities to occupy tots to teens. Our new friend The Cat in the Hat will be joining us too, and with additional kids’ activities on Saturday and Sunday mornings, there really is something for the whole family throughout the weekend.

What they said about us last year:

“A great success. Spoonfed
